TESTIMONIALS

“JUST TWO YEARS IN AND I’M TRUSTED TO MANGE BUDGETS, PROJECTS, AND PEOPLE”

So far in my career here, I’ve taken ownership of annual budgets, managed a million-dollar facility project, and overseen a team of more than 60 people. I’ve learned so much about project management, supply chain, and people management. I can say that at P&G, I’m encouraged to learn new things every day and my career has grown significantly.

WEJDAN, OUTBOUND MANAGER

“MY INTERN EXPERIENCE MEANT I COULD LEAD AS A NEW HIRE”

My internship here was a six-month period of hands-on work and learning in P&G Manufacturing. The level of autonomy I was given was impressive, and I had real, business-critical tasks to complete. I gained the skills and understanding needed to be offered a permanent role at P&G. New methods needed to be implemented and I was experienced enough to train my team on the topic, which in turn, grew my leadership skills.

EREN, PROCESS ENGINEER

“IN MY FIRST YEARS, THE LEARNING HAS TRULY NEVER STOPPED”

I joined P&G as a process engineer in one of P&G’s CSR programs. Two years later, I moved on to my second assignment as a Supply Network Operations Leader, which was a steep learning curve with lots of new skills to be gained. As this role expanded, I acquired knowledge and experience in Industry 4.0 and manufacturing of the future. Now, in my current role, I enjoy new challenges and experiences every day.

WIRA, PERFUME OPERATIONS LEADER

“I’VE ALWAYS FELT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MY ROLE AND THE IMPACT IT HAS”

As a fresh graduate from university, my aim was to go directly into a job where I could have real responsibility versus the typical rotational placement. P&G offered me that in the form of the role of Air Care Business Planner. It was clear from Day 1 that I would have a big impact on both the business and the lives of consumers worldwide.
